Kylie & Dennis...

My cousin Kylie & Dennis were married a couple weeks ago in the San Diego Temple on July 11th. Dennis is from Panguitch, Utah and they held an open house this Friday. We decided to surprise them and take a drive on down to celebrate with them!

This is my cousin Jordan hanging out with Krista and I.

Jared, Riley and Kennady enjoying our time at the open house. We were all really just counting down the minutes until the real party in Panguitch was to begin. We all returned to Dennis' grandparents house to open their gifts. We ended up staying us SUPER late until about 2 AM. We all ended up crashing on the grandparents floor that night. They were so kind and hospitable to us. Thanks for the Panguitch fun!

Waterslide FUN!!

On the 24th, we had this GREAT idea (thanks to Krista & Riley) to bring our slippin slide to my Aunt Cheryl's house. Her back yard turns into the community park. We had 75 feet of plastic. We dragged her hose over and had the sprinklers helping out too! We of course brought out the dish soap to help us out! This was a riot. We went again and again. The funny thing was that the very moment we walked out to the park to set up our slide another family brought their 100 foot slippin slide. So, after a few hours of our individual fun we decided to team up and combined our slides. We eventually had 175 feet of pure excitement! It was an absolute riot. We have all decided to continue this tradition, multiple times a year! What a blast! Next time anyone is invited to join in the fun.

This is Alayna's new best friend. "Soda-pop!" Yeah, my kids are sheltered. When they get in the real life with others who actually drink this sugar goodness, she can't get enough of it! So, for the entire BBQ on the 24th she had a "pop" can in her hand! She LOVES pop. Poor kid, she is so deprived!

Yes, for all of you wondering...this is Shandra trying out the slippin slide!

This is Jared trying to take out Alayna! He succeeded!

Celebrating the 24th of July!

Here are a few darling pictures of our little "caveman" Jacob! He seriously is an adorable kid. Jared and I can't get enough of this little guy. He really makes us laugh. I has a few new loves in life, ICE, Balls, water, and girls. (I'll explain the cute girl thing in a minute!) Anyways, I just wanted to post some super cute picts of this little guy! Oh, we call him a caveman because he grunts and acts on instinct only! Cute kid.

Our cute little tag-a-long!

Kennady Lou Peck is our new little baby! Since her parents so kindly left us to enjoy an exotic cruise to Jamaica. We have been blessed with her. My parents so kindly kept her from Friday until Monday afternoon. At that point I relinquished duty. I have her until Thursday night at midnight! Then her parents will be home!

This was the morning...Alayna being so excited to HELP feed Kennady applesauce. I actually enjoyed teaching her how to help me with a baby.

Here are my two babies! Jacob has really enjoyed his new little friend.

She is still such a happy little girl, even though she doesn't have her mommy & daddy to ooh and goo over her...we are enjoying her bright smiling little face!

Just one week later!

Can you believe how quickly our bodies heal? Well, after the traumatic experience last Monday, I am SHOCKED that our sweet little Alayna face is back and smiling!

Besides have a little dry skin under her lip, she is doing perfectly! We are so happy to have her SMILE back! Notice, she is also back to swimming! Every night her "sad" thing for the day was that the doctor said she couldn't swim until Monday. She was so THRILLED with Monday finally came! You better believe it she went straight for the swimming pool!
